Paperblanks Embellished Goethe Manuscript Wrap (7 x 9)

"Even I managed to get to paradise." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In 1786, Goethe slipped away from his writing fame and court position to travel through Italy, his personal version of paradise, for two years. The journal which he kept then--a page is reproduced for this diary--was later published as both "entirely truthful and a graceful fairy-tale." Now considered one of Germany's greatest poets, writers, and dramatists, as well as natural philosophers, his Italian journey was of deep significance to his philosophical and aesthetic development. This Paperblanks Embellished Goethe Manuscript Wrap Journal celebrates his journey and development.

The pages open nicely and lie flat for ease of writing ... no lost pages in these journals. Instead, delight in a truly well-made object and let it remind you that the finest things in life are the ones that last.
